B = 1 Soliton of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in medium

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the solitonic sector of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with baryon number one in the presence of an external medium and found that with an increasing density the medium destabilizes the soliton.

Analog of the Peierls-type phase transition in nuclear matter

TL;DR: In this paper, a phase transition of nuclear matter into a periodic phase has been found, and an analogy with the Peierls' transition taking place in quasi-one-dimensional electric conductors was observed.

On Massive neutron cores

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the gravitational equilibrium of masses of neutrons, using the equation of state for a cold Fermi gas, and general relativity, and showed that for masses under 1/3, there are no static equilibrium solutions.

Static Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations for Spheres of Fluid

TL;DR: In this article, a method is developed for treating Einstein's field equations, applied to static spheres of fluid, in such a manner as to provide explicit solutions in terms of known analytic functions.

On Continued Gravitational Contraction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the solutions of the gravitational field equations which describe the contraction of a heavy star, and give general and qualitative arguments on the behavior of the metrical tensor as the contraction progresses.
